Templeton Fire Department and prosecutors to determine arson charges

July 17, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

San Luis Obispo County sheriff deputies identified the four juveniles responsible for the arson fire that destroyed the Templeton Feed and Grain on the evening of July 4, including the teen who threw the firework on the storage building.

The four juvenile males are all residents of North County. Because they are underage, their names are not being released.

Sheriff deputies shared the information with the Templeton Fire Department, which is the lead agency in this case. They will work with the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office to determine arson related charges.

“We want to thank the public for their cooperation and support with this case,” according to the sheriff’s department.

Templeton is a small town and inevitably the identity of these awful teenagers would become known.


This is now an open letter to the parents of JOSEPH GLICKMAN A JUNIOR AT TEMPLETON HIGH SCHOOL. You knew for days that your son and his friends were using illegal mortars. They were setting them off behind your house. You did NOTHING! He was the person who actually threw the mortar that hit the granary and you knew days before his arrest and did not notify law enforcement. You are financially responsible!! He and his friends should be tried as adults and do time in Juvi until they turn 21. YOU and THE OTHER PARENTS and YOUR SONS should be working for TEMPLETON FEED and GRAIN helping them to rebuild until you have worked off every last penny this fire has cost them. YOU and the other PARENTS should sell your homes and pay restitution. Even if the courts don’t order you to do this if you have can’t morals or ethics you should do it any way. Your sons are your responsibility!!! Do not show your face in this area until you are ready to make a public apology and accept responsibility.

That didn’t take lon…Why then has it been months of someone dumping paint along she oadways? lts gotten substantially worse too. A simple surveillance camera could catch the perpetrator but law enforcement does nothing? A great example of needing to speak uP to get c anything done. Contact your local law ofice if C you are not a fan of the unchecked vandalism to our roadways!

A simple surveillance camera could catch the perpetrator but law enforcement does nothing? A great example of needing to speak up to get anything done.
